The BBC withheld material from the £2 million inquiry it commissioned into the
Jimmy Savile scandal, according to legal documents, prompting concerns that
the inquiry did not uncover the full truth.

It is claimed that the BBC censored documents before giving them to Nick
Pollard, appointed by the corporation to investigate the decision to abandon
a Newsnight investigation into Savile.

Present and former BBC executives now face scrutiny by MPs about unanswered
questions and conflicting accounts, including what Mark Thompson, the former
director-general, was told about allegations against Savile.
